The Southern Pacific Railroad had a lot of long tunnels on it and the crews used to suffer from breathing problems and were known to wear breathing apparatus from time to time. However these werent really suited to steam locos so the cab forward design was evolved to combat this. Yes they were oil b...

Just thought i would show off the Puffing Billy V1 route now available on steam4me. At the moment its only the top section of the line from Gembrook to Cockatoo but this does feature a nice long 1in30 climb great for thrashing those nA classes up. Todays engine is no 6A. http://album.atomic-systems....

Aye its easy when you know how, you have to work out what stops bits move ing in what direction. Now heywoods valvegear is the worst im still trying to get it to look right on my model of ursula for about 6 months now..

Something simalar was on sale in the Festiniog Railway shop last year. They seemed to have dissapeared now though. I thought they were great the whole point of these hobbys is that they're suppposed to be fun so why not have a nudist camp in the corner of your layout

Actually around christmas i was talking to someone from the wllr who said that they had thought about buying a c2 but decided the wheels are too small. So they bought that romainian rubbish instead:D

Simple answer is it dosnt have one. It's never been fitted with air brakes just a steam brake on the loco and a hand brake on the tender. Although i this will change when restored so it can pull passenger trains. Looking good so far are you going to model all the variations or do you value your sani...

data sheet and side drawing here http://priderock.co.uk/c2project/technical.html
The driving wheels have 2 small oval holes in them i think.

Im looking forward to seeing your model now Bazza, defintly a good candidate for ((BazzaMotion)) dont forget the lobster pot on the chimney :D This one was coal fired im not aware of any oil fired ones but its possible something like 3000 built worldwide and a fine example of how a steam loco should...

Thought i'd oblige before this thread dies a death

that looks fantastic but is it just me or does this seem to look like it belongs to a larger scale narrow gauge railway such as the Ffestiniog or welsh highland railways? still, it really is agreat model! Thats because its ment to be a real 15in engine not one of those Greenly toys. :D :D :D Thnaks...

I bet within 5 year it would of been sold on. :roll: The wheels are too small & from what I can gather its too wide for the route :-? Before you make wild suggestions like that how about reading the press release. The loco is not owned by the FR it is owned by a group of chinese rail enthusiasts wh...

Quick update

will email it soon is there anything you want adding to it.
Tim

I've no idea how you'd even begin to do that in TSM! But otherwise, the model looks OK. To my eye it seems to be either too long or too low, however - if you want drawings just give me a shout :wink: probably something like this. http://album.atomic-systems.com/showPic.php/69566/shelaghfront.jpg It...

Some additional motive power for you David.
